Zhenhua smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry Uncle Xiang, alas, for my business, it makes our Dongwan Village restless, I'm really sorry for everyone, and I'm sorry for me...... Parents. ”

"Forget it, Zhenhua, it's okay if your family business is yellow. Wang Xiang waved his hand and said:

"Zhang Guigang has one family and one surname, all of them have the surname Zhang, seventy or eighty families, all of them are Monk Zhang's cousins who have not been blessed with five blessings. If you marry a little tailor, she will beat her and scold her mother-in-law in the future, and you will not be in a rut. If you dare to touch a little tailor's hair, everyone will go out and break your legs. ”

Zhenhua smiled and nodded: "It is estimated that it is also yellow." ”

Cui Hong sighed: "Uncle He's worked hard, let Zhenhua talk to Kexiang about this matter in a few days." ”

Wang Xiang nodded, and said to Zhenhua: "Has Zhenhua eaten?" Come, accompany your uncle to have two drinks." Mom, I'm out of luck today, and I have to drink a glass of wine and chat to get lucky. ”

Cui Hong hurriedly said: "Uncle He, you go to my house to drink a bar, Cheng Hai and the carpenter are drinking." ”

"No, no, no, I'm too lazy to get up, and now I don't have the face to go out to meet people, so I sit on the bed and drink, you go back, sister-in-law." Wang Xiang said.

Emeralds nodded, turned and walked away.

Xiuzhen set up a small square table next to the bed, brought two dishes, and brought the charcoal stove to the bedroom, where she placed it against the bed, on which tofu stew was cooked in a small steel pot.

Zhenhua sat on a low stool and poured wine, drinking with Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang was draped in a quilt, just like the old abbot of Shaolin Temple wearing a kapok robe, sitting cross-legged on the bed, while drinking, while following the routine and rhythm of storytelling, he redescribed to Zhenhua his glorious deeds of today's war chapter and abduction.

Zhenhua listened to it in his ears, with mixed feelings, and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Wang Xiang was blowing, and the figure in front of the bedroom door flashed, and Zhao Chenghai came in.

Zhao Chenghai heard what his wife said just now, and only then did he know that Wang Xiang fell into the dung pit for his own business, so he came to comfort him.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Chenghai took a deep look and said: "Uncle Xiang suffered a loss today, we have caused you to make amends." ”

Then, Zhao Chenghai couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't be angry when he rings uncle, in two days, I will let Zhenhua make a basket gift, which is a little bit of our mind." ”

The basket ceremony is also a very grand gift, which can be used to visit the sick, visit the women in confinement, honor the elders, and can also be used to apologize or express gratitude. The gift was placed in a basket, including 40 eggs, 2 catties of brown sugar, 4 catties of dried noodles, plus 4 catties of rib meat or an old hen.

In the era of material scarcity, in a poor mountain village, a basket gift can improve a family's life for several days.

Wang Xiang killed pigs and sold meat, he had already run into the well-off era, and he couldn't eat all the pork at home, so where did he care about the basket gift?

He squinted at Zhao Chenghai and said, "Zhao Chenghai, you came to see my jokes, right? You go to the dung pit to take a bath, and tomorrow I will give you a basket gift! Roll on, I drink with Zhenhua, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

"Okay, you drink, you drink. Zhao Chenghai smiled and withdrew.

Xiuzhen walked in, glanced at Wang Xiang, and said, "Brother Chenghai came to apologize, what are you angry at others?

Wang Xiang glared, drank a glass of wine and said, "Today is not good, I didn't look at the imperial calendar when I went out!"

Zhenhua hurriedly toasted and diverted the topic.

……

In the evening, Liu Zhigao came to find Zhao Chenghai.

Zhao Chenghai was confident and asked, "Zhigao, did Lu Qiangwen call you here?"

"Yes, the eldest cousin is clever. Liu Zhigao gave a thumbs up and said, "Qiangwen and his wife came back from the county seat, and they went to my house just now, let me tell you......"

"Tell a fart, call his son-in-law to confront him face to face!" Zhao Chenghai snorted.

Liu Zhigao smiled: "Big cousin, I'm here to spread the word, don't show me your face! Could it be that you still want to learn from Monk Zhang, and ask your eldest cousin-in-law to beat me into the dung pit with a dung spoon?"

Wang Xiang's incident in the morning had spread throughout Dongwan Village at this time, and the news continued to spread, and there was a tendency to rush out of Hedong Town to develop in Heyuan Town. Not surprisingly, Wang Xiang's battle against Zhang's abduction will be ranked first in the February news list of Hedong Town.

Zhao Chenghai smiled and hurriedly took out a cigarette: "Brother, you say, you say." ”

Liu Zhigao lit a cigarette, and then said: "Qiangwen said, it was his son-in-law who lied, and the fight that day was his son-in-law's fault, and he did it first, not to blame Zhenhua." ”

Zhao Chenghai sneered and gritted his teeth: "Count him Lu Qiangwen is still a man who stands and pees!"

Liu Zhigao nodded, and said: "Lu Qiangwen and his wife admit their mistake, and plan to hang red firecrackers at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to apologize, play a basket ceremony, and set up a table to make amends." Big cousin, I think that's it, ah. The villagers all live in the same village, and they can't make a feud over this, right?"

"No way!"

Zhao Chenghai glared and sneered: "Let me forget it like this, unless he Lu Qiangwen doesn't wear a hat in the future, don't pee standing in the future, let him squat and pee all his life, and go out with a woman's scarf all his life!"

Liu Zhigao smiled bitterly and said, "I said big cousin, you can give face." Brother Xiang and I have also run several times, and the skin of my mouth is worn out, you nod your head and accept the apology, and Brother Xiang and I will also get a glass of water and wine to drink, right?"

Actually, no one wants to drink this wine.

This kind of right and wrong, the mediator caught in the middle is very likely to be unpleasing at both ends and angry at both ends. Wang Xiang and Liu Zhigao are both enthusiastic people, and they can't bear to see the grudges and feuds between their neighbors and make a big deal, so they hardened their heads and became this angry mediator.

"You and Wang Xiang have this meal, I'll invite you, I don't want him Lu Qiangwen to set up wine!" Zhao Chenghai didn't give an inch, and said:

"Whatever he Lu Qiangwen said in the morning, let him do it! I don't want his basket salute, I want him to kowtow to me with red firecrackers, I want him to go to Zhangguigang to kowtow, redeem my son's reputation, and save my son's family affairs!"

Liu Zhigao sighed and nodded: "Okay, I'll go on another run with Brother Xiang and bring your words." ”

Next door, Wang Xiang was still sleeping, snoring like thunder.

Liu Zhigao woke Wang Xiang up and told him about it.

Wang Xiang rubbed his eyes and frowned.

"Zhenhua's father is also a stunned young man, he has to step down, don't you forget it? The matter between the little tailor and Zhenhua is already yellow, even if Lu Qiangwen and Tong Jiafen go to Zhang Guigang to kowtow and explain, Monk Zhang will not agree. Lu Qiangwen's face can still be bigger than mine? I can't go, if he goes, it will definitely be the same, he will be driven into the dung pit with a dung spoon!"

Liu Zhigao couldn't help but smile, and sighed again: "Who said it wasn't the truth? But Zhao Chenghai has a tendon, we are sandwiched between them, and we are not people inside and out!"
